What happened

From the pastel portraiture of Norwegian artist Asta Nørregaard, to the post-apocalyptic action of Ridley Scott's 'The Dog Stars', here's what's on this week's cultural agenda.

Why it matters

As we near the end of August, a new season approaches — but don't go ordering any pumpkin spiced lattes just yet.

Common ground

The remains of summer are still lingering, and bring with them more unusual exhibitions, mind-bending TV series, and blockbuster action.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
